The Candlelight Dinner is an annual event held by our church, the Black Forest Christian Fellowship and Black Forest Academy. This dinner-theater type evening gives us the opportunity to share our faith in Christ with our German friends and neighbours, community business people, and landlords.
Guests, this year, were welcomed with the theme of the evening - Sing Freedom- a musical and theatrical presentation of slavery, the Underground Railroad, and eventual freedom from slavery. Danny led the gospel choir and band. The freedom we can have in Christ was tied into the "Sing Freedom" theme.
This was presented in as many ways possible from the decorations through the program. The evening included drama, drum ensemble, dance, and 2 monologues and of course, lots of singing!
Special thanks to Michele, Eileen, and Mark for letting us use their pictures.

These 2 window murals were painted by our friend Rob, who is the grade 5 teacher at Black Forest Academy. They were huge.
Suzanne played the role of Harriet Tubman and gave 2 monologues -
all stories of slavery and freedom
all stories of slavery and freedom
And then came the choir...approximately 50 of us for the first half.
The High School choir joined us for the second half - making the total around 100!
Both Lindsey and Sherri were in the choir (in case you don't recognize us, we are the ones in the bottom right corner.)
